Naser Taghvai

Naser Taghvai was born in Abadan on 13 July 1941 and grew up among the refineries of the Gulf. Without any film training, he first wrote short stories, then from 1967 made documentaries on the south of the country and, in 1970, a first feature film that was immediately banned. A television series based on a novel by Iraj Pezeshkzad made his fame. Constantly at odds with the censors, he stopped filming after 2001 rather than ask for permits, taught, and died in Tehran on 14 October 2025.
